Biden aims to send aid to Ukraine before Trump takes office in January

independent.co.uk November 7, 2024, 05:01 PM UTC

President Joe Biden is working to send a large support package to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes office in January. A senior White House official stated the goal is to strengthen Ukraine's position against Russia's invasion.

Biden has provided around $175 billion in aid to Ukraine, with about $9 billion still available. However, it is uncertain how much of this aid will arrive before Trump’s inauguration, as logistical issues have delayed previous shipments.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed frustration over slow aid delivery, with only 10% of promised support received. As Trump’s administration may change US support for Ukraine, there is urgency for additional assistance now.
